Boehner Rips Anglo-Saxon Caucus: The Nuttiest Thing

Politico reports:

Former House Speaker John Boehner on Sunday called the plan of some House Republicans to form an America First Caucus crazy. Speaking on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Boehner said, “I can tell you that this so-called America First Caucus is one of the nuttiest things I’ve ever seen. America is a land of immigration.”

“We’ve been the world’s giant melting pot for 250 years. And we ought to celebrate the fact that we are this giant melting pot. And to see some members of Congress go off and start this America First Caucus is — it’s the silliest thing I’ve ever seen. And Republicans need to denounce it.”

Read the full article. Late yesterday QAnon Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene claimed no involvement in writing the platform of the so-called Anglo-Saxon Caucus. Her claim came just hours after her spokesman attacked the “backstabbing swamp creatures” who leaked caucus details, while also saying it was going to be formed.
